The quick start guide for the PineTab2 mentions only charging at 5v and 3 amps. I.e. not using a charger beyond 15W.
Since I thought PD was supposed to negotiate the safe limits between the devices.
A couple of possibilities come to mind:
1. The testing just hasn’t been completed to certify that higher voltages are okay
2. The BMS/PD is programmable and Pine has no way to know what OS distributions have done to it.
3. There are inherent limitations in the circuitry that preclude the use of higher wattages.
Basically if someone with knowledge of the charging circuitry weigh in that would be great.
Thanks
